If you believe in UFOs, why not believe in God?

probably because more people have (myself included) have witnessed a ufo first hand. photographic/video evidence by millions of sane credible people.
there is more evidence in the case of ufos. where is footage of god or jesus or allah etc... there is none. and another thing, any time you see
something in the sky that is unidentifiable, that is an Unidentified Flying Object. it doesn't only pertain to "alien craft".

also before i end this, how do you know that god isn't an alien? (technically he would be one). what makes god legit but zeus, horus, gilgamesh,
krishna, shiva, apollo, etc... "myth"? it's completely hypocritical, especially with the PROOF that these "mythologies" existed before christ and
the bible. not to mention the religions that came before all have some sort of virgin birth, death and resurrection. sounds awfully familiar. i'd
believe that ET beings came down and visited and were treated as gods before i believe that there's a god that created the earth and universe. if he
did, what's the point of creating a vast universe that can only be seen with mega telescopes?

I am not sure about an actual "God", but all I know is there is an afterlife. There is tons of proof out there that proves it, yet it's just
something most people cannot come to terms with, so it stays skeptical. Matter and energy are contained within this Universe and cannot be destroyed
or created, it's eternal. We are energy, I have seen it with my own eyes which makes me believe it more. We're eternal. Everything is.

i think you mean if you can believe in god y not believe in aliens. Many people believe the interpretation of god means alien. ive been watching
ancient aliens on the history channel and alot of their theories seems to make perfect sence

amazing thoughts. lot of people here say "ignorance, do not be fool" but people need something to believe in... they need to believe in what they
see, or to invent something then. Good post man, i rather take second option which in my PERSONAL case i have reasons... but have never seen a small
one, or a grey/brown/carrot one.

Undoubtedly, the words God, extraterrestrial, and alien all describe the same thing.
The real question is: Are they physical beings, internal manifestations,
or spiritual entities from another plane of existence entirely?

I submit this:

We unequivocally understand a physical dimension of reality.
All things we experience in this plane are from a similar plane of existence.
Parallel universe, alternate dimension and/or time, may overlap with this experience.
But by definition alone: God was an extraterrestrial alien; having come from someplace other than earth and its atmosphere. Jesus, by traditional
descriptions was born to an earthly mother, son to a "god" from the sky "heaven".

I was once very religious. IT CHANGED MY VIEWS OF EVERYTHING!

Yeah they are probably the same thing mate. I remember somebody saying the Bible was the greatest ufo story ever written when replacing the word god
with spaceship. From personal experience I can say there are many links, probably the most amazing is the talk of manna emitted from gods chariot -
this is actually fact! Angels too

Lets throw out some cold hard truths.Although, there has been many, many, people who have seen ufos, there is no concrete proof that they do exist.
Sure, there have been photos and videos, but this is all speculative.It just makes me nuts for people to believe in something that is not provable
then totally shoot down the idea that there is a God.

Mods, I wasnt sure where to place this. either in the UFO section or the God section.Thanks

Then again, if you believe in God, which God do you pick and why exclude Santa, elves etc?

In an infinite universe ( doubtful we have already detected our universe brushing up against another universe and leaving a bruise, i think we
are part of a bigger structure. ( yes i know the definition of 'universe' is everything so u can't call something else a universe, lets just call
it our subsection of existence brushing up against another)

I personally think you're right.
If it's one thing we keep learning about the Universe, is that it is bigger and has more layers than we previously imagined.

I've seen crafts in the sky turn tight figure 8's around one another that were obviously intelligently controlled. Combine that with the MILLIONS of
other people reporting all that goes along with the UFO Alien discussion. Then consider that the Military of all nations actively hide the truth of
their encounters. Subtract all the nut jobs and replace them with the film and footage of advanced craft in our Sky's. Factoring in the vastness of
the Milky Way galaxy which is but one of trillions that exist in our Universe will cause you to realize that it becomes more reasonable than not to
believe that the Earth is and has been visited by intelligent beings from somewhere else.

God, if you are to believe in it will offer you zero evidence of any kind. (Unless you consider Jesus's image showing up in a grilled cheese
sandwich.) Now lets look at gods supposed great creation, Man... Mankind has 4000 known genetic disorders. Some of these genetic conditions affect
children in horrible ways. Why would God do that to a baby? So you have to wonder why God would create such a crappy life form to be its dominant
creature on Earth? Some here would postulate that Eve screwed it up in the Garden of Eden, I've try-ed to talk about God without becoming religion
specific and if you would like me to point out all the other silly things the bible says I can. I'm trying to be nice

So...It all comes down to whats easy to believe in answering your question. Its easy to believe that Earth is being visited, unless you say to hell
with the evidence. "My mind is already made up." And hard to believe that God would make such a crappy creation, never show Itself and allow baby's to
suffer unimaginable pain due to buggy genetic code!

Because humans are creatures of habit, tell them many lies upon more lies, repeat as necessary and sure enough people will believe in UFOs, God, etc.
And look at where it's gotten civilization: more psychotic people with information overload and they just don't know what to do with their knowledge
but go coo-coo!

How can you put a persons belief in God and UFOs on the same level? That makes no sense!

Belief in God = believing in an all powerful super being who made everything.

UFOs - believing that there are people from other planets who are visiting Earth.

Im a skeptic of UFO reports, however the second is easier to swallow then the first. First off, we've seen that life does infact evolve in the
universe, and can become intelligent and develop technology, we are proof of this.
However, we have never seen gods.
Believing in UFOs merely requires one to postulate life arising elsewhere, and advancing to a degree capable of interstellar flight, something even
our science finds may be possible.

Gods have never been claimed nor proven, and science finds theological claims ludicrous. Ergo these two ideas are not even remotely on the same level.

This question truely can't be answered convincingly to the religious because belief in God is about faith and not logic BUT i will try.
Belief in Aliens - Alien life is statistically impossible to not exist given the science of evolution and most likely intelligent life also. The
question then becomes "do they visit earth" and that is up to individual to decide if there is enough evidence out there.
Belief in God - Is exactly the same as belief in Aliens visiting earth except this Alien can live forever, didn't come from evolution (just poof and
he is here) and most importantly can do fricken MAGIC. I mean has the magic to do anything, against everything we know about laws of science.

So you see one is a belief in Aliens and the other is a belief in an Alien with magical powers. That's how you can draw the line between them.

God is a primitive idea that represents ignorance. What's that great metal winged beast in the sky? It must be God. What's that thing that created us
and watches over us and judges us or takes care of us... Must be God. The idea is just so juvenile, and it seems that despite our advancements as a
society we still hold to these ignorances mostly by tradition.

God has become a word to represent an ideal... "my God wouldn't do that..my God would be merciful and understanding..." or "God will judge those
people"... Just replace God with "I" in the deepest sense.

If ever there was a being that came to earth, intermixed with man, or rain fire down upon us, I think we sound like an ignorant primitive tribal folk
to say it was God who did that, rather than accepting the more likely scenario, that it was simply someone who had the ability to come from the sky,
mix with us, and rain fire down upon us.

Religion is to control and divide, to create followers. Love is universal... God is ignorance...

To say there are UFOs is to shed that ignorance in favor of reaching for logical reality.

1: UFO, UNIDENTYFIED FLYING OBJECT
What so special about them, they must exist, or is it that evrything we cant
identify doesent exist? I say they do exist. And do so abuntantly...
2: Aliens, like someone said in the beginning of the thread, hundreds of trillions
of stars and planets. Seriously...We, Alone...No way, like Spock would have said.
ILOGICAL
3: GOD, not one single thing exept, feelings, can explain that. And no, im not
talking about Jesus, Husband to Mary. You know, the carpenter from Jerusalem.

The proof of God's existance is all around us from the beginning of time. Life is life and with that comes disease, pain and hunger...etc. But joy,
peace and love are ours too. Believing in God is a personal journey for each and every individual. Because we have free will, the choice is ours and
ours alone. God does not need us to fight his battles, but to be living examples of His love.

Could aliens be the watchers? or angels of God? Are there humans on other planets? I would like to think so. I believe our universe is bigger than
we can EVER imagine.
